Power
Synchronous-reluctance technology ensures a noticeably lower energy consumption,
especially in the partial load range.
Small step, big impact
The requirements placed on the efficiency
of drive systems and the individual compo-
nents are higher than ever before – and still
rising. But the technical potentials of
conventional asynchronous technology
have been largely exhausted, and it would
be almost impossible to achieve further
efficiency improvements.
Synchronous-reluctance technology offers
you an attractive alternative for more than
just simple drive tasks, since the use of
permanently excited synchronous motors
is often uneconomical. It can achieve very
high levels of efficiency at the rated operat-
ing point and under partial load, with both
high power density and high dynamic
performance. But for the system to release
its full potential, all of the system compo-
nents must be perfectly coordinated and
integrated.

Step 1:
Install SIMOTICS Digital Data app
An integrated system pays off
SIMOTICS reluctance motors are precisely
harmonized and coordinated with SINAMICS
converters to create a Siemens integrated
synchronous-reluctance drive system. This
pays off for you, since it provides all the
benefits of proven, standard platforms, and
combines them with future-oriented,
energy-efficient synchronous-reluctance Step 2:
technology. Using the TIA Portal you can Scan SIMOTICS motor data matrix code
quickly and easily integrate the entire drive
system into the automation environment.
Perfectly coordinated software and services
help you make full use of all critical optimi-
zation potentials throughout the entire
lifecycle.
Special drive performance
With regard to control properties, too,
the synchronous-reluctance drive system
must not hide its light under a bushel.
Field-oriented vector control performance The way to the converter data
is better in all aspects than with comparable
standard asynchronous motor systems. Step 1:
In conjunction with the SINAMICS S120 Install Siemens Industry Online Support app
frequency converter, it is even possible to
switch from standstill to continuous
operation. This means there is no need for
an encoder, even for demanding drive tasks.

Digitization is the key to rapid and efficient operation.
The data matrix codes on the motor and on the converter
provide you with technical data, spare parts and
operating instructions. You just need a mobile device
and the SIMOTICS Digital Data app for motors or the
Siemens Industry Online Support app for converters.
You can make design and engineering processes shorter
and more flexible using 2D and 3D engineering data.
